I hope everyone had a lovely Easter! I spent mine working, sleeping and eating chocolate, probably in that order :)
So last week I finished on Friday at 1 minute and 42 seconds in the light treatment box. I didn't have a session on Monday due to the bank holiday, which worked out well as I was working. This past Tuesday to my dermatologist who determined I'd be doing a total of 24 session as at that time it would bring me upto when I'm due to start Stelara, which will hopefully clear any psoriasis that may be left.
Wednesday brought me upto 17 sessions. The dosage was uped to 2 minutes and 3 seconds. When I had a shower the same night after treatment, I noticed I was quite red on my chest and it was hot to touch. This will have to be noted for my 18th session tomorrow and my dosage will more than likely be lowered to avoid further redness.
We've been lucky here in Ireland that the weather has been beautiful, but with that comes precautions...namely factor 50 sunscreen! Which I will also be having to load up on when I go on holidays in 2 months time, along with a hat and cover ups. Hope to do a future post on item purchase to avoid the sun flaring my skin :)
Enjoy the weather wherever you may be
Until next time...
